British Anglican prelate Sarah Mullally has been named the Archbishop of Canterbury, making her the first woman to hold this position in the nearly 500-year history of the Church of England.
Mullally’s tenure began on Friday, October 3, following the approval from King Charles.
She will serve as the spiritual leader for approximately 85 million Anglicans worldwide.
At 63 years old, Mullally was consecrated as the Bishop of London in 2018, ranking as the church’s third most senior bishop after the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.
The new archbishop has a background in nursing, having worked in London hospitals and eventually becoming the Chief Nursing Officer for England and the Director of Patient Experience within the National Health Service.
